Philodendron gigas
Big velvety leaves? Yes please. This rare beauty brings major jungle drama with long, deep green foliage and a soft, velour finish. A collector’s dream.
Plant Care
Light: Loves bright indirect light. Keep it out of harsh direct sun to protect those velvety leaves. A spot near a north or east-facing window is chef’s kiss.
Watering: Let the top few inches of soil dry out between waterings. It likes consistent moisture, but soggy roots? No thanks.
Temperature: Warm and steady—ideally 18–26°C. Keep it away from cold drafts, dry radiators, or sudden chills.
Potting: Our Airy Aroid mix is perfect—chunky, well-draining, and breathable, just how those roots like it. Add a moss pole to help it climb and show off those long leaves.
Hot tips: Loves humidity—aim for 60% or higher if you want those leaves to reach their full potential. If they stay small, it’s probably craving more light or humidity.
Pet Friendly: NO
